23.0.60; open files as root

[henry atting]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I cannot open files as root anymore, I once could but since I recently
updated emacs it is not possible anymore:
